Pet Sitting Golden Gate

“Our cat Fluffy was very happy about you and because of that we had peace of mind. Thank you Eric, we so appreciate your service. And we will get back to you next time.”

About: I had my own dog until she was 15 years old. Since she passed, I’ve been actively volunteering at Berkeley Humane Society and most recently Milo Foundation, where I have successfully fostered several dogs. I have experience with dogs of all age ranges, from puppies to seniors. I have also pet sit for dozens of dogs over the years and truly believe that dogs make the world a better place! I am currently on a sabbatical and have a fairly flexible schedule. As long as I am scheduled in advance, I can be available for your pets needs. I am an active person who loves to hike, go to the beaches in Marin, and go for neighborhood walks. I also value relaxing at home and taking it easy too. Depending on your pet’s energy level, I can easily adapt to their needs! I care for pets in my clients home by ensuring I stick to the animal’s routine. I carefully review the routine, commands, feeding schedule, etc. with the owner in advance to ensure the pet’s routine remains consistent and they are as comfortable as possible in the absence of their human. I am committed to getting pets out for daily walks to provide exercise and enrichment.

“Everything appeared to be taken care of to my specifications and my cats were happy and healthy when I got home! Matthew was also very communicative and friendly throughout my time being gone. Will book with him again!”

“Jes is such a great pet sitter. This is our second time using him and hope to have him care for our cat whenever we are out of town. Totally reliable, responsive and really good with animals. He clearly likes his job!”

“Sandra was absolutely fantastic caring for my older cats who need lots of attention. She was incredible with communication and arrived on time through two separate bookings. She is very consistent! My two cats were very comfortable with her and seemed to be excited to see her when she would arrive. I highly recommend.”

“Shirley is great! Our cat liked her immediately. She was easy to work with and accommodated multiple last-minute changes due to unforeseen circumstances. I highly recommend her.”

About: For 5 years I worked at a dog daycare with all kinds of canines! For most of my time there, I was an overnight caretaker, solely responsible for anywhere between 5-99 dogs. I’ve worked with pups of all ages, many breeds, and many needs. Before that, I spent my teenage years volunteering at a local shelter, where I walked and cuddled dogs from all walks of life, and got the hang of getting nervous newcomers out of their shell. And it’s not just dogs I love, but all kinds of critters big and small! I have a cat and lizard, I enjoy any opportunity I have to cat-sit, and exotic pets whose care may be more than some want to handle are my pleasure! I’m happy to tailor care however you’d like to give your little friend the best! I’m free for the summer before my classes start, which gives me plenty of opportunity to care for your pets! I am mostly available after noon, and my availability is very open on all days but Friday I can only do walks or home visits as my house is already occupied by a disapproving cat, but while I’m with your pet I’ll be sure to give them exactly the care they need! I’m happy to give walks and visits where they’ll have all my attention, and I have experience administering any medication (non-injectable) that they require. If they’re just in need of company, I can supervise them in your yard, cuddle or hold them, or simply work quietly nearby if they would rather do their own thing without being alone. When I’m with your pet, I will always be reachable, so if you need to give instructions or check in on your pet, I can respond immediately

About: I have two dogs of my own, so caring for pets is a big part of my daily life. I have also helped my aunt care for her cats many times, including feeding them, checking on them, and spending time with them. My friends regularly trust me to look after their dogs when they are away. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and will treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own. I’m currently a UC Berkeley student studying Mathematics and Data Science. Since much of my studying and coursework can be done from home, I’m home most of the time and have a very flexible schedule. This gives me plenty of time to give pets attention, play with them, and take dogs on walks throughout the day. I’m happy to accommodate different walking and care schedules whenever possible. I have two dogs of my own, one large and one small, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. My home has a balcony with a well-designed pet area where pets can relax safely. I also enjoy taking dogs outside for walks and can provide plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully and make sure their pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

“Zoe did a great job with my dog Theo, who can be a bit quirky especially around other dogs. She brought her own dog to meet him, and said they did great! She was easy to communicate with and sent great pics. Would trust her with Theo again anytime!”

“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter for my cat. She was responsible, responsive, and communicative throughout her time watching my cat. She provided daily updates and made sure to ask questions when needed to ensure my cat was cared for well. I would have Stephanie cat sit again for me!”

“Lucas was wonderful and incredibly accommodating for a last minute urgent booking. He spent extra time with the pets and kept me well updated :) my go-to catsitter from now on,”

About: I’ve built a loyal client base since 2022 primarily through word of mouth and have many excellent references. I have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, needs, and routines, and I consider myself well-prepared to handle a variety of situations. I’m highly communicative, proactive, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I always strive to go the extra mile for my clients, making sure both pets and their people feel heard, respected, and confident in their care. This work brings me a great deal of joy, and I genuinely love getting to know and care for each animal. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week and travel across the Bay Area for in-home sits. Pets are also welcome to stay with me at my Emeryville loft. I have an 8-year-old Chihuahua-Terrier mix who is friendly with most animals and mostly keeps to himself. I prioritize regular walks, play, enrichment, and plenty of affection throughout the day. When caring for dogs in their home, I aim for 2–3 walks daily on safe, familiar routes; there is also a dog park directly across from my loft if that’s a good fit for the dog. I follow each client’s care instructions closely, communicate proactively if questions come up, and keep clients updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.

“Thanks so much Hong, Mac had a great time meeting you! I appreciate your quick communication as we made arrangements and how well you handled Mac on the walk (letting him think he is in charge!). Looking forward to booking with you again soon 😻”

About: Hi! My name is Ryan and I would love to meet and take care of your pet(s)! I've grown up with dogs and cats in the house and have always felt a very loving bond and connection with animals. I had two cats that passed away a little while ago so I now have more time and space to care for other peoples’ animals. I'm respectful, honest, and a good communicator. I am very conscientious and considerate of other people's space, and will make sure to keep your house nice and clean! I am very flexible and can adapt and personalize services to meet the needs of you and your pet. I work part time so I have a lot of flexibility and will be able to spend lots of time at your house and play/care for your pet. I will keep your house as neat/clean as it was when you left it. I am respectful and considerate of other people's homes/property. I've used pet sitters in the past so I know what how it feels to entrust someone in your home and I don't take that lightly.

About: For the last four years I’ve lived in a home with two Rhodesian Ridgebacks. One was a senior at 13 years old and the other is three. I’ve learned how to adapt to their different needs based on age and personality while setting boundaries and aligning to my Housemate’s desires for their care. (Which has helped me get to know new dogs pretty quickly.) We walk, play and cuddle. When needed I administer medication, feed them, and sometimes cook for them. I look forward to chatting with you about your family’s needs. When house sitting I do not schedule any other families for walks or drop-ins. The care I provide is all inclusive so that your baby gets all of my love and care. If I am not house sitting, I’m available everyday after 11am for walks and drop-ins within a 1 mile radius of lower Rockridge or easily reachable by public transportation. To ensure safety and comfort, I won’t be walking any other dogs outside of your household. I am available to spend time with your pet(s) in their home where they will be the most comfortable. I’ll come to you for walks.

About: Hey I’m Izzy! I’m here to treat your fur babies as if they’re mine. When I’m with your dog I like to stimulate their mind by bringing treats and toys and have fun with some training (of course with your permission first!). I am currently a self employed dog trainer so I do know how to handle different types of dogs. My main experience is training and I frequently work with service dogs. I have experience with all kinds of temperaments so don’t be shy to let me know if your dog has an anxiety issue or is overly excited. My upmost important priority is making your dog feel as comfortable as possible when he or she is under my care. I can’t wait to meet all these beautiful faces! I am also a student and still new to the bay area. Luckily at the moment my schedule is rather flexible, I can potentially adjust my schedule for your pet on certain occasions! I will follow whatever instructions you give me when I stay over at your home. There will be constant supervision when let outside or on a walk. Your dog will have a warm bed (or crate) to sleep in and their mental + physical needs will be met everyday!

About: 🐾 A Loving Home Away From Home for Your Dog Welcome! My name is Chen zhang, and I'm a full-time, work-from-home pet sitter who provides personalized care in a peaceful, loving environment. Your dog will enjoy constant companionship throughout the day, with plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Since pet sitting is my full-time job, I can closely follow your dog's routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care they may need. One of the best parts of my home is the cozy private garden, where dogs can safely explore, relax, and soak up the sunshine. We're also just a short walk from San Pablo Park, a beautiful dog-friendly park that offers plenty of space for exercise, sniffing adventures, and fun outdoor play. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and respect. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, a senior, or a puppy, I'll care for them according to their unique personality and needs. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, happy, and loved—as if they were part of my own family. I can't wait to welcome your furry friend into my home! In addition, I’ve had dogs for over 16 years and truly understand how to care for animals with patience and love. I also have experience rescuing and helping stray dogs and cats, so I’m very attentive to different personalities, emotions, and special needs. My doggies back in China are all rescued and adopted by me and my family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, including senior pets who need extra patience and gentle attention. I treat every pet like family and always try to make them feel safe, calm, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m available full-time and can provide care every day, including weekdays and weekends. I have a flexible schedule, so pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for pets both in my home and in my client’s home. I carefully follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort to help them feel relaxed and secure while their owners are away. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, affection, clean spaces, fresh water, and regular exercise. In my client’s home, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: Hey there! 🐾 My Wi-Fi name is "House of Dogues". That probably tells you everything you need to know about me. I've been around pups my whole life: walks, sits, feedings, bath time, you name it. Friends, family, neighbors have all trusted me with their fur babies, and I take that seriously. But also I make it really fun. Here's what makes me a little different: I follow the dog's lead. Some pups want a big adventure. Others want a slow sniff-everything kind of walk (honestly iconic). On our walks, they pick the route. I'm just happy to be invited. I also put together little enrichment activities because a stimulated dog is a happy dog, and yes, I talk to them like they understand everything I'm saying, because they do. I'm a big dog park person too, but I'm picky about it in the best way. I stick to parks where I already know the people and the dogs, so I know exactly what kind of environment your pup is walking into. No surprises, just good socialization with faces I trust. When your dog stays with me, they get a whole day tailored to their vibe: cozy, active, or somewhere in between. And you? You'll get so many photo and video updates you might actually forget you miss them. Might. At home I live with Totó, my shichihuahua who is fully convinced he runs this household (he does). He's taught me everything about big personality in a small body, and he's an excellent host. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs. I know how to give them the patience, gentleness, and extra love they deserve. My clients always say the same two things: they got way more updates than they expected, and they finally felt okay leaving their dog with someone. That's the whole goal. 🐶 I work remotely, which means I'm home most of the day and genuinely available, no scrambling, no rushing. Midday walk? Morning sit? Last-minute check-in? I can make it work. Pet care isn't something I squeeze into my routine, it basically IS my routine. Your dog will never feel like an afterthought. Safety is everything to me, and so is making sure your pet actually enjoys their time. In your home, I follow your instructions closely, keep things clean and consistent, and make sure your pup always has water, food, and lots of love. On walks, I stick to routes and parks I know well, with dogs and people I already trust. No random off-leash situations, no surprises. At my place, it's calm, cozy, and very much a dog household (my Wi-Fi is literally called "House of Dogs"). Totó, my shichihuahua, is a great host as long as you respect that he's in charge.

“Nataly is absolutely amazing! She is professional, punctual, and personable. She went the extra mile for me while I was away on a trip and sent me a ton of pictures + videos. She has great communication skills and my pets adore her. Will definitely be contacting for future pet care!”

About: My name's Niko (they/them pronouns) and yes I've got a lot of tattoos and yes I’m genuinely good at bonding with your pets! I ran a private pet care business in CA for years, can provide references, back on this app cause new to the area! I’ve got experience in all sorts of pet care. I've spent years specializing in pets with anxious attachment styles and find bonding with an animal around their terms and quirks to be extremely important to forming long term working relationships. I have worked everything from public dog boarding facilities to private in home daycare. Basic pet CPR trained and have experience with our higher maintenance pets whether it be stricter feeding restrictions or medication schedules. Weekend and long term stays are more than welcomed! For day visits we can work one on one bonding with your pet or go out and work on socializing in a more public setting. Oh, and the endless spoiling your critter with love, of course! Let me know if you need any other info :) I work part time at a community art gallery so have lots of time to hang with your pets both in and outside of your home. My home is currently pet free so have all the time and space to focus on yours and I have a range of experience caring for pets in different environments.
